Just about 72 hours ago, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, the chief of Hizbullah’s Executive Council, bluntly declared that the Yemeni people, who will, as per the Lebanese Islamic Resistance legend, participate in the next battle against ‘Israel’, are feared by the usurping Zionist entity. Moreover, Safieddine said that ‘Israel’ is equally afraid of what he called the “line extending from Lebanon and Syria to Yemen and Al-Quds.” He also noted that “Tel Aviv” and the despotic Saudi regime are basically the “same administration”. This echoes what Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasarallah said in the opening months of the US-Saudi war on Yemen, that so long as Yemen is independent, it is part of the Resistance Axis and the reason why ‘Israel’ wanted this aggression was to prevent this scenario from unfolding. Any analysis that doesn’t include this critical, origin-point notation, here on the 4th anniversary of the House of Saud’s bombardment, siege and starvation of Yemen, has missed the mark by 6 million percent.

Today marks 8 years since the global–we could and should even say, damn-near-intergalactic–war on the Syrian Arab Republic began under the guise of “revolution”. 8 years since hordes upon hordes of Takfiri terrorists, with some estimates numbering in the hundreds of thousands or upwards of a million, from more than 100 countries descending upon Syria with the unwavering, unlimited support of the world’s most despicable oppressors, colonizers and tyrants. 8 years since one of the world’s safest countries, and the sole military backer of the Palestinian people and their righteous cause at the state level, was destabilized, setting off a wave of terrorism and horror that has left half a million souls martyred and almost ONE THIRD of the entire population displaced–both internally and externally. 8 years of ruthless subversion that cracked the global antiwar movement worse than in half as so many people failed to see the scheme. 8 years of broken friendships and fractured alliances.

Lest we forget though that one friendship that failed to break… One alliance that absolutely did NOT fracture… Is that of the Resistance Axis. Indeed, lest we also forget that the last 8 years have seen a MAGNIFICENT resistance and an OTHERWORLDLY steadfastness by the Syrian people and their Lebanese, Iranian, Palestinian, Iraqi, Pakistani, Afghani and Russian brothers which have clipped the wings of the vultures and uplifted Syria from the black hole of potential regime change. A conspiracy, we remind you, that started out as ‘Israeli’ and remains ‘Israeli’ at its very core up until this exact moment.

As usual, leave it to Yemen’s Mighty, Mighty Ansarullah to show the entire planet–especially the increasingly apathetic Arab-Muslim part of it–what principled Anti-Imperialism, unrelenting Anti-Zionism and true Striking Star Solidarity with another oppressed nation look like. Last week, Yemen’s defenders held a massive rally for Venezuela, condemning US-Zionist aggression against the Bolivarian Revolution in the harshest possible terms and letting Nicolas Maduro know that he, as well as the Venezuelan people, have friends, comrades and family on Yemeni soil. The Ansarullahis mocked the Tangerine Terrorist Donald Trump. They trampled upon the American and ‘Israeli’ flags. They displayed portraits of Nicolas Maduro and El Comandante Hugo Chavez (rip). Nasserists and socialists of various types joined in–an example of the Houthiyeen putting politics aside for the sake of fighting the Imperium. Pictures of Fidel Castro (rip) could be seen too. The Yemeni and Venezuela flags were rocked together in a sea of Sarkhas. Beauty doesn’t even come close to describing it.

(Editor’s note: One of the original goals of Mouqawamah Music was to open up a space for Resistance-minded writers from all over the world, especially where Empire Zionica is dishing out the worst forms of oppression, so they can speak unfiltered and further unite the peoples and struggles challenging hegemony. This sad yet beautiful piece by Kashmiri activist and commentator Mohammad Umms Rafiq, who is also an MBBS student studying in the Islamic Republic of Iran at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, encapsulates this idea entirely. May the Kashmiri people achieve Azadi from their Indian terrorist occupiers and may the ever-resilient people of Yemen see salaam in their homeland in 2019, after four years of Zio-carnage.

Children’s Day is celebrated every year on the birthday anniversary of first Indian Prime Minister and leader of Indian Freedom movement, because of his love and special attachment with children.

I am not going to criticize anyone here, but I will just try to highlight those things which have left everyone especially children in isolation, bloodshed, inhumanity, hatred, fear and depression.

For the sake of power, children are being used, their future is being sacrificed for worldly gains by insane people with tyrannical hearts.

Revenge is another terminology used by these heartless, cruel people which they impose on innocent hearts from early childhood in the modern era.

Children are dependent on the care, love, empathy and attention of adults who love them but their attachments are frequently disrupted in times of war, due to loss of parents and use of brutal force on their families by oppressors. Emotional unavailability of distracted or depressed parents leaves these innocent souls in complete despair and hopelessness. Most of the children are “unaccompanied children” in this war game because of the loss of adults (meant for the protection and care of children). As a result, we can see “refugee-like situations” in every warzone and battlefield.

And with equal seriousness, we say that Modi the Murderer, also known as Modi the Maniac, should now be known as Modi the Misfit too. Because he launched an aggression against Pakistan in hopes of boosting his popularity in the lead-up to India’s imminent elections, but instead watched the entire Bollywood War Theater blow up in his face. His first attack on the Pakistani town of Jaba, about 100 km north of Islamabad, was said to have killed 300-400 some odd “terrorists”. Turns out no “terrorists” were hit. Nor were any actual, physical human beings. It was a glorious victory for “Akhand Bharat” [Hindutva’s faux, bigoted conceptualization of “Undivided India”] over Pakistan’s… Pine trees. And rocks. Hospital officials and Jaba residents confirmed there wasn’t a single casualty. Yeah. Militarily speaking, it gets no lamer. Pakistan’s Air Force responded proportionately with half a dozen raids on Indian military positions inside occupied Kashmir, landing precise and causing massive damage. India hit back, directly engaging Pakistan’s aces in aerial combat above the Vale’s skies–a foolish, FOOLISH maneuver. Two Hindutvadi regime warplanes were shot down and Pakistan captured a pilot following its decisive thrashing of the invaders.

Came across this picture earlier and it served as a Brobdingnagian reminder as to why the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the legacy of Chavismo are under assault from World Zionism. Yes, the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt Corollary and Venezuela’s oil reserves, which are the world’s largest, are all reasons for the Great Satan, as the world’s hegemon, to seek liquidation of this major oppositional force against its designs on Latin America. But these matters all require nuance–nuance which will we tackle in the conclusion of this essay to put the cherry on top of the Anti-Parasitic sundae.

It was on this day 35 years ago that Sheikh Ragheb Harb (R.A.) was assassinated by ‘Israel’ and it was also on this day, 27 years ago, that Sayyed Abbas Moussawi (R.A.) was murdered by the same genocidal, illegitimate, demonic entity. This day also represents Hizbullah’s official birthday, as it was on this day 34 years ago that Hizbullah declared its existence to the planet with its “Open Letter To The Oppressed In Lebanon and The World”.

Knowing that today is the day you were taken from this world by the accursed and self-proclaimed-“chosen” enemy, I can feel cracks, ever-so-tiny but ever-so-jagged, snap off inside of my heart. That you were snuffed out with a car bomb in the Kfar Sousa region of Syria’s Damascus at this time of the year is a sign from the Most High (SWT)–because the winter does indeed feel a few degrees colder and the hypothermic gusts pierce through our skins down into our bones with a bit more ferocity. Like the flames of the explosion that mutilated your blessed, resistant frame weren’t embers, but manifestations of freezer burn. How is it that we have gone 11 years without your physical presence? A tear drips from my right eye and turns into an icicle, hitting the ground and shattering like the aforementioned shards of my heart. Two more drip from my left eye and transmogrify into ice-bits just as quickly. I can’t stop the lacrimal river. I also don’t know if they’re from sadness or fury. What I do know though is that I miss you and miss the feeling of security knowing that you were out there confronting the Beast. Making it tremble. And planning the Counter-Hegemonic Bloc’s next triumph.
